Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2241  Stubborn Rock

Lin Mu was left astounded at the rock that had managed to resist a slash infused with Sword Intent.

~WOONG~

Even Afternoon Pine was shocked by this and showed it by a hum.

'A rock that can resist a slash like this… It's certainly not normal.' Lin Mu now understood. He had only managed to cut a few inches, and the rock was at least a few meters thick. Lin Mu could see the roots of the Three Colored Drizzling Mud Lotus tightly wrapped around the rock and also anchored into the small pores that were present in it.

'Do I need to cut the roots directly?' Lin Mu wondered. 'That will certainly cause some harm to the Lotus.' He knew.

Since he had managed to take the previous two Dazzling Mud Lotus flowers whole, he hoped to do the same for this one too. He knew that Crown Princess Shang wanted to study the flowers and figure out a way to grow one herself, thus he reckoned having a live plant would be much better.

While it was not an absolute obligation on Lin Mu's part to do this, he had a different thought process.

'Since I can do it, why not do it?' Lin Mu simply thought.

But now that he had faced an obstacle, he had to change his thoughts a bit.

"Hmm… since I can't cut the rock, I should just take it along entirely." Lin Mu thought of another solution. Of course, whether he could carry out this solution was yet to be seen as there were still uncertainties. Lin Mu placed his hand over the rock and tried to directly store it along the Lotus plant at first.

The rock that was jutting out of the lake bed was about six meters wide and eleven meters tall. The particular part that the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus was attached to was a small 'peak' on its top and was roughly three meters thick.

"Hmm… Just as I thought, it won't work when its anchored in the ground like that." Lin Mu was unsuccessful. "I need to separate the rock out first." He muttered to himself before getting to the base and putting both his hands on the rock.

With a rock this size, it would be important for Lin Mu to get a proper grip and positioning to get the most force.

Lin Mu gripped the rock as best as he could, fully using the claws of the gauntlets that were part of the Longgui Bulwark Armor. 'Need more strength.' Lin Mu realized that using the 'normal' amount of strength was simply not enough to affect the rock. As such, he stirred up the Immortal Essence within his body, letting it surge in his arms. Veins bulged out on his arms, as they started to slowly swell in size. The gauntlets adjusted automatically, adapting to his arms that were now as thick as tree logs.

~CREAK~

A faint creaking sound was heard, as Lin Mu exerted force with his fingers. The claws pushed on the rock, denting it bit by bit until finally ten holes were poked into it.

With that, Lin Mu now had a perfect grip on the rock. "MOVE!" Lin Mu finally started to exert force, pulling it up.

~TREMBLE~

The lake floor shook slightly, as the force was transmitted through the rock to the bottom. But the rock didn't budge at all, showing that it was embedded firmer than Lin Mu had expected. 'I can't even assess how big the full size of the rock is.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He had a hunch that the rock was bigger than he could 'see' above the lake's bottom. Since his immortal sense was limited here, he could only do a little guess, and considering the amount of force he had applied, Lin Mu judged the rock was several times bigger than what he could see right now.

'Maybe even tens of times bigger.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

With such a mass, Lin Mu knew just using his strength with body cultivation won't be enough.

'I need to take a substantial move.' Lin Mu knew.

With that in mind, a red aura surged from his body.

~HUALA~

The red aura was dense and caused the Murkwater Qi in the muddy water to clash with it. The two energies had a violent interaction, as more waves were created due to it. If not for the fact that the Twins had already lured all the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric beasts away, Lin Mu was bound to catch their attention.

But the appearance of the red aura didn't just create waves, it even affected the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus.

The shoots and leaves of the plant quivered while the flower shrunk slightly.

'I need to be faster.' Lin Mu hoped that the flower won't be affected too much by it.

~RUMBLE~

With that in mind, Lin Mu raised the output even more as a Tyrannical presence spread.

The red aura now took on a different feeling, and tiredest the muddy waters. The Murkwater Qi was now being repelled at a great pace, while it the aura increased Lin Mu's size.

His muscles bulged and grew in size, with even his legs growing.

This provided him two fold strength and a firm stance.

Soon enough, Lin Mu's arms were as thick as an elephant's legs, while power rippled from them.

~HUALA~

The Tyrannical Red Aura wrapped around Lin Mu's arms as an illusory image formed. It was that of giant horns belonging to a menacing beast; The Tyrant Bull!

~MOOO~

The cry of the Tyrant Bull was heard as Lin Mu executed its skill.

"Tyrant Lift!" ~TREMBLE~

An exponentially high power was exerted by Lin Mu's arms as the entire lake bottom shook. Waves after waves were spread as Lin Mu started to lift the rock.

At first, it only rose by a few inches every second, but it then reached a tipping point.

~BOOM~

It was as if an entire new hill had risen from the lake!
